Sorry about your loss , but very interesting footage .
Wedge Tail Eagle - up to 12 lbs in weight and a 7 ft wingspan ... It wanted the prop's to pick it's teeth [bill] with!!! Hurt ... not very likely ...
[An aside ... I'm a fan of Raptors] Depends on the Eagle ... The Wedge Tail includes snakes in its diet (with most of the snakes in Australia being poisonous!). Eagles that go after snakes have skin on their legs like armour.
Australian Wedge Tail Eagles are massive. They have a 7' wingspan and a thick hide on their talons. In some of the frames while falling, you can see an arm and motor ripped from the socket, and flailing about connected only by wires.
you were luck to survive, wedgies are known to attack and eat drone pilots.
On my 1st flight, i had a family of plovers have a go, 2nd flight, a flock of swallows kept buzzing the drone. havent had a problem sincevery few aussie snakes are poisonous - venomous yes, poisonous no.
I do like to help people increase their knowledge . i saw a pic of a BIG python the other day with its mouth wide open and the hundreds of needle like teeth. i think it would rip your skin right offThere's always one!..
I don't keep venomous but some of my collection could still give you a very nasty bite for such pedantry!
